A hanten jacket, or “half-jacket,” is what laborers wore in the fields and other work places. Real boro is created over time, generations in some examples. Cothing was made in such a way that it could easily be deconstructed for reuse in making another garment.

Sunday Quilt Inspiration: indigo
There’s an SQI from 2018 on the old blog that covers indigo, but I am into indigos right now, and want to create another indigo SQI, with a bit of a boro slant. I’m thinking it will inspire me as I work on my boro jacket fabric. I have a little done, now, and it’s

This post is from a time when I was on a crazy quilt kick? I’d look over Pinterest and other sites for ideas for the crazy quilt bolster that I was working on at the time. That bolster was never finished or maybe I gave it away, who knows after 7-8 years. But I’m back

Slow Stitching: Practice for a Future Boro Jacket
While we were on retreat in Baton Rouge, Glen began talking about wanting to make a boro jacket. She’d brought Susan Briscoe’s new book and “encouraged” everyone to look through it.

We spent this weekend in Natchitoches at the Lights Festival. Natchitoches bills itself as “The City of Lights,” which has been celebrated since 1926. One of my fondest memories is of my sisters and me playing and rolling down the hill in front of the lake. I also remember picking stickers out of my clothing,

Pin It Weekly #337
I discovered charcuterie boards via Pinterest a while back and have been considering creating a board. Richard and Adam made a few to put in my Griffin’s booth, so there’s even more interest. At the first book signing my beautiful friend Shera had a charcuterie board to rival any Pinterest photo I’ve seen. And so,
